April 2021 Committee Meetings

Facilities Committee Meeting

Tues., April 13
6 p.m.

Agenda: 

Come to the meeting ready to share: 1) intersections of key concern for biker safety and why, 2) observations/experiences from riding the intersections and what could be improved to a) make you feel safer, b) make it easier to ride. We'll definitely discuss the intersections of 11th & Vermont St and Rhode Island Ave/Q St/11th St, but please also explore other intersections proposed for improvement.

Because our meeting is virtual and not a group ride: One possible approach to independently exploring the intersections is to ride along one or a few of the bike corridors listed below (this is a huge study area, so feel free to observe a handful of areas, and bring that deeper experience to the meeting).
